This week was bomb! We had Zone Conference, 2 exchanges with the District Leaders in the Zone, and a super good Sunday!

On Tuesday we had Zone Conference! It was awesome! We learned and were reminded about the importance of remembering him in everything we do! We talked about remembering him but also remembering who we are. One of the biggest parts that stood out to me was when we were talking Helaman's sons, Lehi and Nephi and why they were named that! In Helaman 5:6 it says, "Behold, my sons, I desire that ye should remember to keep the commandments of God; and I would that ye should declare unto the people these words. Behold, I have given unto you the names of our first parents who came out of the land of Jerusalem; and this I have done that when you remember your names ye may remember them; and when ye remember them ye may remember their works; and when ye remember their works ye may know how that it is said, and also written, that they were good." This scripture stuck out to me so much when P Jackman read it. It honestly made me think, "Why was I named Amoni?"After that it honestly gave me a boost of energy and I felt the spirit so strong! I made a new goal that I would remember who I am named after and also to remember the other 2 names that I represent out here in the mission, Ka'ili and Jesus Christ's name! The Zone Conference was so good. They also made everyone get flu shots, it was so funny seeing everyone line up and get them!

Wednesday we went on exchanges with Elder Raymer and Elder Numbers! I went with Elder Numbers to his area and the exchange was super good! I got to go back to my old area that I was in and talk with some of the people that I use to teach before and also see the other members that I was super close with in that area! Elder Numbers is a beast missionary too!

Saturday I went on exchanges with Elder Wells. Lol he's still a greenie so I got to have a little fun with him! But we had a crazy experience. So we were finding in the morning and we just weren't having the success that we wanted so we decided to go back to the car (we were walking all around his area knocking doors) and to pray of where we needed to go! After the prayer elder wells told me he thought of the number 9 right after we prayed so we looked at 9th ave and found this focus person so we went over there and when we got there it was crazy. So we got out of the car and just heard yelling and screaming and slams coming out of the house that we were about to knock. We heard super loud, "vato levantate!" and then a slam. I looked over to Elder wells who was shaking and asked, "Do you want to still knock the door?" and surprisingly he said yes! So we went up and knocked, I thought to myself the least we can do is stop this person from beating up the other person... and then we just hear a door slam on the other side of the house.  This guy comes out with a huge knife in his pocket and a gun in the back of his pants and starts screaming at us. Every other word was a f word. Honestly I thought we were about to throw hands! haha My adrenaline was pumping. He told us to get off his property and when he found out that we were Mormons he got even more mad, and started bashing Joseph Smith and making fun of us cause we can't drink coke or something like that! haha I kind of chuckled when he said that and he didn't like that too much.  I told him, "ok man, have a nice day." Then he said you have a nice day *mean word*. We got back in the car and then something crazy happened right after that... the JW's pull up like 2 secs after us and literally go knock on the guys door. He comes out and starts screaming at them too! It was insane and we were like, "Dang God is really trying to stop this guy or help him with something since both of the missionaries from 2 different churches show up 5 min apart!" It was crazy! But later that day we had the same situation happen, except we found this awesome guy named Rene! He was so prepared to find this message and we are super excited for him!

This past Sunday was Elder Hagues b day and such a good Sunday too! We were able to get Alberto and Pablo both to church! They both have baptismal dates for the 26th so we are pumped for them! After church we were able to go to another missionary panel where we talked in front of all the youth that are preparing for missions in the stake! It was such a good experience and the spirit was so strong! After dinner with Presidente Moreno we went to a Baptism for some of the hermanas in our zone. We finished the night with correlation! One of the best Sundays I have had on my mission! A lot of spiritual events that I was able to go too!

This week was so good! I hope you all have a good week as well! Les amo mucho!


Con Amor,
